Kitchen Stories: Mrs. Wilkins French Toast

What do you normally have for breakfast, something salty or sweet? For me it depends on the day, I sometimes like to have something sweet and other days something salty. But lately these days I’ve been craving sweets. So I made these amazing French Toast (probably the best ones I’ve ever made) and I immediately thought I had to share. So here they are, hope you enjoy!

What you’ll need:

Half a loaf of bread from your local bakery sliced (I use whole wheat or brown)

¾ cup brown sugar

2 tbsp ground cinnamon

1 egg

¼ cup almond or coconut milk

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 tbsp butter

Strawberries, figs, shredded coconut and sliced almonds for garnish

Mix the egg, milk and vanilla extract in a medium size bowl and set aside. Then in a medium size flat plate mix the sugar with the cinnamon.

Turn the stove on to low head and add the butter to a large pan. Dip your loaf of bread one by one into the egg, milk and vanilla mix, each slice should be really wet and then place them in the sugar and cinnamon mix and cover them all up.

Start to place each slice on the hot pan. Leave them for about 2-3 minutes then flip to the other side and leave them for another 2-3 minutes. Serve them in a plate and add the strawberries, figs, shredded coconut and sliced almonds. Bon appetite!!
